Preferred Label : ion pumps;
IUPAC definition : Ion pumps enable ions to flow through membranes in a thermodynamically uphill direction
by the use of an energy source such as ATP or light. They consist of sugar-containing
hetero-peptide assemblies, which open and close upon the binding and subsequent hydrolysis
of ATP, usually transporting more than one ion towards the outside or the inside of
the membrane.;
